Thanks for composing this list. Very useful! Excited to see the 1976 VW GTI specs, lol.
Anyways, just a quick note to mention that the Polestar appears to be significantly faster with the forged 3.8l V6 engine (makes 1430hp and specs all 10s).
Also, would be very curious to see how the 2017 Corvette Grand Sport as well as the 2013 Corvette Z06 compare.
Finally, a couple questions : 1. Are you using drag tires for the 1/4 mile times? And where do you test a measured 1/4 mile?
2. What is the difference between race tires and track tires? Which is better for a full grip setup?

Ah yeah, the GTIs are coming still. And I'll max out the Z06 and Grand Sport when I get a chance.
I will definitely try out the Forged 3.8L V6 on the Polestar and revise its standing if there is an improvement. Thanks for the heads up.
The 1/4 mile time is based on the mobile tuner (where you adjust steering sensitivity and downforce); the time listed there is the time I post. I did not run the 1/4 miles myself, as it would be difficult to time and measure.
Race and Track tires are relatively similar, but I find that the track tires allow for slightly better handling and maneuverability at higher speeds - although the difference could be considered negligible. I ran a couple of comparisons of the two in the past, just for my own purposes, and figured the Track tires had better grip at lower speeds, making it slightly easier to accelerate. In my opinion, it just comes down to personal preference between the two, as you will feel the slight differences in handling.
